I have 3... One recurve, a BW PSA. I have a 68" 70# R/D longbow(my first custom bow) and my Caribow Silverfox. Not planing on buying more... Maybe a  lighter set of limbs for my Silverfox and my PSA, but no other bows!!

I have two bows but only one stick bow right now. I just bought a Barta Bow from the classified and plan on using that throughout the year.  I really want to pick up a HH bow to use next year deer hunting.  Probably will sell the PSE wheel bow I have, don't see myself using it anymore.

12 longbows and 16 recurves. The recurves are mostly lightweight for kids to shoot, All the longbows are used by me at one time or another.

My wife asked me that question when she was attending Rod Jenkins' class with me, and the whole class cracked up.

I have 8 "official" bows, not counting the bows I have for when my grandchildren get old enough to shoot, some self bows that were just too beautiful to pass up, a couple of left-handed bows for when I want to shoot left-handed, some bows I traded for that I don't use very much, a bow I have set up for bow-fishing, and a bow or two I have at my office for when I want to practice blind bale shooting at a target I have there....
